Angel Di Maria set to snub Manchester United with Monaco negotiations 'already underway'

REAL MADRID winger Angel Di Maria believes he is being forced out of the Bernabeu by Gareth Bale's arrival from Tottenham but any hopes that Spurs, Arsenal or most recently Manchester United have of bringing the Argentine to England look to be dwindling.

Mendes was heavily involved in seeing the latter make the move from Atletico Madrid to the Principality and also helped engineer moves to Monaco for Ricardo Carvalho, Joao Moutinho and James Rodriguez.

And it seems that they could soon be joined by Di Maria.

The news will come as a blow to United, with David Moyes looking for more dynamic wing play than Antonio Valencia, Nani or Ashley Young have displayed so far at Old Trafford this season.

Di Maria appeared to be realistic target for United in January, given his desire to leave, but it now seems Moyes may have to look elsewhere for reinforcements.
